“Crowding Out” the Bad…

Before the blame game begins, I ask the question again and second time around, it usually hits home.

YOU are responsible for the food you eat. You have the ability to make empowered decisions about the food you put in your body. You have choices.

Now ask yourself these questions:

How are my junk food vices benefitting me?

How can I replace these items with equally delicious, yet nurturing foods?

How will my life change when I remove junk food?

Many people turn to junk food when they are stressed and looking for a quick energy boost. What they really need is a well-rounded meal comprised of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats to nurture their bodies and provide slow-burning energy.

It may sound counter-intuitive, but adding in MORE real food could be your saving grace. When you place a strong emphasis on real food, there’s little room left for empty calories.

Replace one junk food snack with real food today:

Apples, oranges, and bananas are great on the go snacks. Feel free to have two if one leaves you hungry!
